Setting Your Table for Spring

Spring will be here in a few short days! Nature will be coming into bloom which makes this a wonderful time to decorate your home for the new season. One of the best things about spring? Fresh flowers! Take advantage of those blossoms that are only available during this time of year and freshen up your home with a gorgeous centerpiece.

What’s Blooming?

There are some lovely flowers that begin blooming in the spring. Irises, daffodils, tulips, peonies, and hyacinth are just a few of the flowers that will begin to bloom over the next few months. Some of these are only available during spring, so adding them to your centerpiece will bring a breath of fresh air to your table.

Picking the Perfect Container

Spice up your flowers with an unusual vessel. If you have a something special in mind, like an antique teapot or watering can, ask your florist if they can place your flowers into a container you provide. You can also ask for your arrangement to be wrapped in paper, rather than being put into a vase. Mercury glass, mason jars, and even egg shells can provide a fun look to your centerpiece.

No matter if you want a large centerpiece or several small ones (individual flowers in milk bottles look great!), your local florist can help you decide what flowers you need to make your table look great this spring.
